2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings & ProjectionsSecond Baseman #2

Anthony Rendon is the next superstar in baseball. Just 24 years old, Rendon hit 21 home runs, six triples and 39 doubles in 2014 to go along with 17 steals. Rendon spent a lot of time hitting in the two hole for the Nationals who scored the ninth most runs in baseball in 2014.

The Nats' Third Baseman also qualifies at Second Base in the Fantasy world. One thing to note is if the Nationals play Rendon at Third this year they'll have to find a new spot for Ryan Zimmerman. That new spot could be Left Field or First Base. Whatever they decide to do, they need him in the lineup; he's a fan favorite and ranks fifth on the National's all-time home run list with 184 career dingers.

Rendon's versatility is important but not nearly as important as his power stroke. The former sixth overall pick in the 2011 June Draft posted a .186 ISO rate last year which is something he's done before in the minors several times.

He also hit great pitchers well last year. Rendon recorded home runs against Felix Hernandez, Zack Greinke, Tyson Ross, Michael Wacha, Alex Wood and Craig Kimbrel.

Anthony is a 20HR/20SB candidate this year. What sets him apart from other 20/20 guys is his ability to create runs is right up there with the league's best hitters.

Last year Rendon created 100 runs based on his Weighted On Base Percentage - that was tied with Jayson Werth and Jonathan Lucroy for the 14th most in baseball.
